Meghan Stettler, Sandra Christensen, and Courtney Stookey of O.C. Tanner

Celebrate! Fresh Ideas for Employee Appreciation Day and Beyond

It’s vital to recognise your employees all year long, but it’s especially important to celebrate them on Employee Appreciation Day, March 4. Over the past two years, employees everywhere have weathered the storms of remote, hybrid, and frontline work to keep organisations and their communities performing well. Now is the time to “thank them all” by creating recognition experiences that are heartfelt, fun, and memorable. After all, research shows that when organisations celebrate together, employees are 20X more likely to feel connected and want to stick around*.

Join Meghan Stettler of the O.C. Tanner Institute, along with Sandra Christensen, VP of Awards, and Courtney Stookey, Client Strategist, as they explore strategies to create impactful employee celebrations.

Learn:

  • Why companywide recognition fosters connection and retention
  • What strategies can be used to make celebrations like Employee Appreciation Day more impactful
  • How the right technology solutions can provide simple, personalised recognition experiences
